Not requiring TLS is not the same as not allowing it. Even if you don't
require it, Rails' ActionMailer will use it if it's offered. The easiest
way to fix it is to disable that behaviour in the rails application by
adding the following to config/environment.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:domain => "my.host.name",
:enable_starttls_auto => false
}

Of course, you must accept email without TLS as well, but that is the
default, so if you've changed it then you must know how you did so, to be
able to undo it.
Cheers, Chris.
